Properties of U-Substitution

All of the following statements about the method of u-substitution for integrating composite functions are true EXCEPT:

  1. A.

    After integrating with respect to $$u$$, substituting back into the original variable yields the final antiderivative in terms of $$x$$.

  2. B.

    A key requirement for u-substitution is that the derivative $$du/dx$$ of the chosen substitution must be incorporated into the integral.

  2. B.

    The effectiveness of u-substitution depends on choosing $$u$$ so that its derivative appears (or can be factored out) in the integrand.

  3. C.

    In u-substitution, it is acceptable to choose a substitution $$u$$ even if its derivative does not appear in the integrand.

  4. D.

    Once the substitution is made, the integral is rewritten in terms of $$u$$ and then integrated before substituting back to $$x$$.

Correct answer: C
Properties of U-Substitution

All of the following statements regarding the method of integration by u-substitution are true EXCEPT:

  1. A.

    The substitution process inherently involves computing $$du/dx$$ so that $$dx$$ can be correctly replaced in the integral.
